    One of my usb hard drive does work normally, but when I try to add files it says writing error and then it starts having trouble detecting.

    another hard drive works normal, install windows works, but linear test failed when using diagnostic program.

    is it possible to fix those?

    thanks

    depends if its a hardware or software problem, cud be an issue with the usb enclosure's IDE/SATA to USB converter or cud be a file system error or an actual hard drive error.
